This post is part of my 360 degree Classroom Tour Series.
One of my goals for this school year was to create a motivating learning environment that encouraged creativity. I had made the melted crayon art with my son over the summer and added the word “create” using wooden letters. I had used the paint cans with the “spilling paint” at his birthday party and repurposed them in the classroom as a bright accent to the bulletin board. I had some space above it along with some small easels I had purchased at Dollar Tree and decided they would be a perfect addition. I was going to use motivational quotes, but since they would be small and the space is higher than I would normally display things for the students I decided that single words would be a good option.
I selected 6 words that I wanted to be a part of my classroom. It will be a good reminder for me to see them daily as well.
- believe
- dream
- create
- imagine
- inquire
- strive
I created a free printable packet in case you wanted to use them too. These would make a great mobile if you hung them back to back or accents for open spaces on shelves if framed.
I printed them onto white card stock, but have also included a blackline master in my free printable. You can use them to print or copy onto any color or scrapbook paper.

I wanted to THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of the adorable ideas and printables that you have posted. I am homeschooling my Kindergarten son this year - I was a teacher before he was born and have been a stay at home mom. I just came across your page last week and I am overwhelmed by how giving and creative you are. I wanted to let you know how grateful I was and that I will be looking at TeachersPayTeachers often to buy from you!!!! Traci
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome idea. I love character trait signs, but this is so much more personal, significant, *meatier*. Thanks for the freebie and idea!
